Sightseeing Log #48

[Lilseph]

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for your contribution!

I remember crying blood and watching every single video when I did this one. In the end, it seems that is only doable by using a mount. There's another jump in the Shrouds where you have to jump on top of a gate, from a rock next to it. It's just... thank God I'm done with the Sightseeing Log. These timed jumps are a pain in the back. I also remember in the Leatherworker guild I think? I had to drop my FPS to 30 in order to make it happen. SE loves to torture us. You can tell after they released that in the latest patch... the Kugane Tower's Leap of Faith. Two nightmares in one.

Just wait till the next expansion! ;D

I got the Kugane Tower and this one the other day and finally finished the log. I was thinking I was going to take days to get up there but I managed it all in roughly 5-6 hours. The jumping down to the lamp post took me at least 5 tries... XD

I would love to see YoshiP and his "dev" team do this jump. Who actually does QA at SE? They must have the easiest job in the world. Getting paid to literally do nothing.

My apologies for the necro, but this isn't any easier now even with faster mount speed unlocked. I'd heard about the fps thing but I haven't tried jumping from other areas, so I'll have to give that a go.

I did it but it took bloody ages. I had to lower my fps. Watch some videos of it too, I was trying to make the jump incorrectly from a screenshot for a while.

I personally did it by precisely spacing a leap to the first post with a max speed mount, turning mid-jump and jumping to the second without slowing down to preserve my momentum.

This was after spending a good 20 minutes trying to jump there unmounted.

It's several years later and this jump is still janky garbage. The fact that changing your FPS somehow makes jumps easier is absurd, and the fact that lowering it makes jumps trivial is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Well, next to the people in this thread defending it like it's supposed to be some busted piece of trash. I think it says something that every other jumping puzzle in the game to date hasn't been a tenth as finnicky and busted as this garbage. I spit on this entry, as it sullies the otherwise fun time that is the sightseeing log.

Of all the times to drag this from the depths, we're less than 24 hours away from being able to fly in ARR zones. Unless you can't land on the point, the whole sightseeing log is going to be trivial.

I'm assuming you will not be able to land there because there seems to be some kind of minimum space requirement for something to be considered a valid landing point.

There are some sight-seeing spots in flight enabled areas that you had to jump/fall onto because of this.

Resurrecting a 2014's thread is really something! Twice!!!
Not now, patch 5.3, you can fly. Problem solved.
